That’s right, around opening day, whispers are heard regarding the Cape League exploring its own version of manifest destiny and growing its territory. Some of these rumors involve towns on Cape Cod and some even fl irt with the idea of the CCBL taking its brand of baseball beyond the Cape. Personally, I don’t see it happening any time soon, and the Cape League hierarchy has said that there is noth- ing immediate in the planning. Still, the whispers can be heard. One great problem that expansion would bring up is scheduling. As we all know, with the weather in these parts, especially early in the summer, it just isn’t easy to get all 44 games in. Off days are few and far between to begin with and adding a team or two would only gum up the works even more. Adding one team would be a hor- rendous problem with scheduling as it would necessitate one team having a day off every day of the season, which would be great for the teams, but tough for the schedule DANIEL W.

Adding two teams isn’t much easier, and again schedul- Falmouth’s Biggest ing becomes a big problem.

Of course, there’s one other way to bring in a new market, without messing with the schedule, but it’s not an option that I can see any teams seriously considering: re- Go ‘Inside the Game’ location. Had new parks not been opened in Brewster and Page Seven Bourne this season there would have been a pair of prime candidates to pull up their stakes and try a new place, but now that the new fi elds are opened, that’s simply not hap- pening with those teams. There really aren’t, in my mind, any other candidates to move. The league is doing well in just about every market and the clubs are quite en- Ballpark trenched in their homes.

It is a huge town and it has a large potential fan base. It also is a rather wealthy town, meaning that getting Full Cape Cod League Game Schedule support wouldn’t be that tough.

Sports Ups and downs and ups and downs By Ryan Wood Tue Jul 08, 2008, 12:06 PM EDT PLYMOUTH - By Ryan Wood Correspondent WAREHAM – The first quarter of the Wareham Gatemen’s season mimicked a classic Cape Cod riptide; they got swept into the sea, and as soon as they got back up, they got sucked right back in. The Gatemen would win a game and halt a losing streak, and then they would fall right back into a string of consecutive losses. But over the past week and a half, and after a five-game winless streak, the Gatemen rolled off three wins in a row. The riptide seemed to have subsided until the team lost, 4-2, to the Brewster Whitecaps Monday. The Gatemen entered this week with a 7-11-1 record. Sunday night, the Gatemen beat the Yarmouth-Dennis Red Sox, 4-3. Starting pitcher Robby Broach (Tulane) earned his first win of the summer and evened his record at 1-1. With the victory, the Gatemen avenged an early season, 10-3 loss to the Sox. Aaron Baker (Oklahoma), who’s been on a recent hot streak for the Gatemen, homered and hit a two-run double to power Wareham to the win. Kipp Schutz (Indiana) added a solo home run for the Gatemen. Saturday, the Gatemen earned their third shutout victory of the season. They blanked Cotuit, 4-0, thanks in large part to the solid work of starting pitcher Brandon Workman (Texas), who took a no-hitter into the ninth inning.

Put yourself in the shoes of an elite baseball player for a moment and appreciate the unique conundrum that many face at this time of the year. On one hand they have an invitation to play in the Cape Cod Baseball League, the premier summer league in the country. Not only does the Cape League offer the best daily competition and a chance to be noticed by a gaggle of scouts, but the other variables are nice as well. There is the beach for the rare off day. The travel from ballpark to ballpark is quite easy. The atmosphere is somewhat relaxed and the fans appreciate just about every move on the dia- mond. It’s a pretty sweet gig for the summer. On the other hand, some of the best players also get another invitation for the summer—to play for Team USA. Wow, the national baseball team, a chance to put a jersey on that reads “USA” across the chest. Not only does it rate a 10 out of 10 on the cool scale, but it’s an honor as well. However, the national team isn’t quite as laid back and loose as the Cape team. The national team’s travel sched- DANIEL W.

  • Writing Sample-Game Recap
    Hyannis Comes Up Short in 14 Inning Marathon at Orleans By: Dylan Vazzano ELDREDGE PARK, ORLEANS, MA – A Cape League classic unfolded inside Eldredge Park on Wednesday, as it took 14 innings to decide a winner between the Hyannis Harbor Hawks and the Orleans Firebirds. Deep into the steamy summer night, Orleans (10-1) finally put a lid on the marathon of epic proportions, after Cody Kulp (Shippensburg) raced around from second to score on a Brandon Trinkwon (Santa Barbara) error to give the Firebirds a 6-5 victory, their eighth in a row to become the first team on the Cape with ten wins. With runners at first and second and one down in the final frame, Pi’ikea Kitamura (Hawaii) smacked what looked like a routine grounder to the shortstop Trinkwon. However the sophomore from Tustin, CA could not handle it cleanly, and then in his haste threw the ball away, allowing Kulp to score all the way from second with the game-winning run. “It’s just a tough game tonight, but we battled throughout,” said Brett Michael Doran, (Stanford) who played a key role in the contest with two hits including a grand slam in the game’s opening stages. “We competed for 14 innings and there’s no way you can be upset with our effort.” Doran’s long ball helped propel Hyannis (1-10) to a commanding 5-0 lead in the top of the second inning. Orleans’ starting pitcher Kyle Hunter (Dartmouth) had retired the first four batters of the game before Blake Austin (Auburn) reached on a Kitamura throwing error with one down in the second.

Each shirt represents (fill in the blank) col- lege or university, but atop their heads rest the team caps they will sport for the next two months. The fields aren’t bad, but compared to the ACC or Big 12 or SEC or whatever other conferences they’ve been playing in, they aren’t that special, either. But there’s something about this place by the beach that not only makes them want to be here, but need to be here. It’s the Cape Cod Baseball League. With all apologies to the other summer wood bat base- ball leagues, the Cape Cod Baseball League is the best league around for these young college kids who want to show off their skills. Just take a look behind home plate sometime, when you’re at a ballgame. You’re likely to see more radar guns than hot dogs and more notebooks than soda pops. That’s right, the Cape League is where they come to be seen by Major League Baseball. Sure they’re here to have fun, but in the big picture of things, it’s where they show just how good they are to the people who will one day be signing their paychecks. How big that stub is can be determined by seven or eight weeks on Cape Cod.
